Hi. This is Jessica from Mega Moolah. In this article I’m going to show you the basics of using Poker Copilot’s HUD.

I’m also going to show you how you can modify the way the HUD looks and works while you’re sitting at the poker table. I’m playing a PokerStars cash table here. You’ll notice that we have this message put by Poker Copilot on the window: “HUD shows after your first hand.” That’s because I’ve just sat at the table. Poker Copilot needs for you to have completed at least one hand so that it can gather the basic information about the type of table, the number of players, and so on. So I’ll play out this hand.

Now the hand is over, within a few seconds Poker Copilot has found the information it needs. And we now have these HUD panels next to each player on the table. So you’ll see that we have the player name, in brackets we have the number of hands we have for that player.

Then we have there three basic statistics. If you spend any time reading about poker HUDs, you’ll learn that these are the basic statistics we are always interested in. We have VPIP, which is “voluntarily put money into the pot”, pre-flop raise (PFR), and post-flop aggression (Agg). So the “19” there means that 19% of the time when I could put money into the pot pre-flop, I did. The next statistic “pre-flop raise”:12% of the time when I had the opportunity to make a pre-flop raise, I made a pre-flop raise.

And finally, post-flop aggression: 67. So 67% of the time when I was still in the hand post-flop, I made a bet or a raise rather than just checking all the way through to the end of the hand. Maybe you don’t like the position of these HUD panels. Not a problem. Just click anywhere on the player name section of the HUD panel and you can move the HUD to exactly where you want it. Now Poker Copilot will remember where you’ve moved the HUD panel to and in subsequent sessions you’ll find the HUD panel will appear in the position you want it.

We can make these HUD panels more compact. For example the player name is not really necessary once you’re certain that the panels are in the right place. So what I’m going to do is go to the top-right hand corner of the poker table. And here Poker Copilot has put a HUD control panel. Find this icon in the middle: this is the HUD Configure icon.

Click on it, and a menu appears. Now I want to turn off player names so I’ll find “Player Names”, click on it, and suddenly the player names have gone from the panels. But maybe you want it to be even more compact. After a while you’ll learn that it is always VPIP, PFR, and Aggression in that order, and you no longer need the labels. So we can turn those labels off.

Again, go to the top right-hand corner, click on the HUD Configure icon, and turn off “Statistic Labels”. And there you have it: a very compact HUD display above each player. Let’s go back to the top righthand corner. We’ve got this very long message here:”Table VPIP PFR and Aggression”. So this is the average VPIP of all the players currently at the table.

I find this very useful to get an impression as to whether I’m sitting on a loose table or a tight table. Maybe you want to turn that off. Again go to the HUD Configure menu icon, click on it, and here we have “Show Table Stats”.

Let’s turn that off, and the table stats are gone. A very useful button here is this one. This is the HUD play and pause button. Click on that and the HUD instantly disappears from the table. This can be very useful if you just need an uncluttered table while you are making a big decision. Click on it again and the HUD instantly appears.

This is just the beginning of what you can do to the Poker Copilot HUD. You can change what statistics are shown, you can change the colour scheme, the layout of labels, you can determine whether the HUD stats are shown for all time, or just for the current table. And most importantly, before I forget, you can click anywhere on the player’s statistics to see many more statistics for that player.

So I’m going to click on my statistics here. And we get this popup showing all sorts of statistics. Almost anything you could possibly want to know about the player, live at the table. This is just the start of what you can do to change the way the HUD looks and feels.

Hey guys. I wanted to go into a game that I was very excited about covering, because I couldn’t find any videos on it online when I was first learning. Hopefully I’ll be able to teach you all also. This is how to play Pai Gow Tiles.

In this game, there are 32 dominos. Each player will place a bet. Four players here. Dice are rolled, usually it’s in a cup, and it determines who would go first. So, these come off to the side. Dealer gets his.

Every player gets a stack. The object of the casino game is to have two sets of two tiles that both beat the dealer. Sounds a little confusing, but this, I’ll be honest, it is. But hopefully I’ll be able to demystify this game with you in this series. So, players will get their tiles face up, these are tiles that are all based on Chinese imagery.

And basically, the object of the game is to set your tiles in a way where you feel that you’re going to be able to beat the dealer. And all of these are by point value here. This is an eight, and this is a ten, alright. We go with the last digit, so this is actually an eight.

And the highest you can get without any special pairs and things like that is nine. This here is an eight. And this here would be six, and 11.

So this is a seven, because you know, seventeen, we chop off the one. This here is five and four, so that’s a nine. With these hands here, all right, so this would be a four, because you have an eight, and a six. So this would be 14. These tiles are special, there’s a three and a special six, which is made out of four two. This would count as a three or a six.

So here, in this case, it would be six plus the three, so that’s a nine. That’s not too bad. Then here with this, we have a pair, which is better than a nine. And then we’ve got right here, this would be a seven, and then a six, so this is three. And then the pair. The object is to beat the dealer, who has to play his hand a certain way.

And in the case here, he’s got a five, and then a nine. So right here, five beats this one here, but it doesn’t beat the pair. So that’s a push.

If you win one, lose one, it’s a push. And here, this is a four, and then the nine. So this nine, because it’s made out of this tile, confused yet? Just because this nine is better than this nine, but this four is worse than this five. So that’s also a push. Here you’ve got a seven and a nine.

This nine beats this nine. But then, this seven beats this five. So that’s a push.

And then we’ve got an eight and a seven. We’ve got eight, eight, and an eight, alright, so then, the eight beats the dealer, but then the nine beats him. So then that’s a push. Confused yet? I know.

It’s a game where you push a lot of times, and the house edge is actually pretty low in the game, and actually it works out to your favor if you actually know how to play. We’ll go into more detail about hands and rankings, and what beats what and how do you beat the dealer in a later video.

What I like to do is I wouldn’t normally go to another machine after I got done getting the really big win and sometimes I would like if you if you want to save your chips you don’t want to really spend no more for that day you know just come back the next day or whatever you know because sometimes if you get on here and you be playing all day you know because you have all of those chips and I know it’s really exciting when you’re playing because it’s a lot of chips and you’re very excited about winning a big win but once you win a really big win like like 1 billion or so or more you know whatever you know close to a billion if I were you I would get off because eventually if you’re playing like I said all day it will take all your chips back and I know from experience. Read more about spinning in casinos at CasinoSlots.

e I’ve been playing this game for a while now and that’s just something that I would do not saying that you guys should do it you know because everybody has to learn from experience ok so I’m this one’s taking a really long time to give my free spins so it looks like I might have to go ahead and lower my back normally lowering your bet normally what I do is I lower my bed so it can give me all my chips back that I’ve lost but sometimes like if you want to get a really really big win and your your chips are not really low then stay at the same bat but if you’re losing go ahead and lower your bed down I’m not mean your minds down to 150,000 chips and sometimes it gives me all my chips back like I have said in my other videos sometimes he gives me all my chips back or maybe even sometimes more or a little lesser it just depends so I’m gonna keep going until I get to let’s see what happens okay so it may give me okay.

So I can keep going since it gave me this way and I’m gonna keep on going until until I get down to about ten million and then I’m gonna lure my bed and for used to be a in the billionaire’s Club if you would love to be in there I’m the only way you know you would have to give it a chance if you are still spending out three hundred thousand and spin you know or so or you know just just give it a chance you know start spinning and start taking chances and start spinning at five million of spin maybe ten million it’s being you know just give it a try or maybe even this three million a span you never know you know that day that you’re doing that you can become a billion in the billionaire’s Club you just never know.

Let It Ride Poker was designed to offer Casino guests an opportunity to control two of their three bets wagered on an exciting poker game It’s enjoyable and easy to learn. It’s based on the five card stud poker game. The Players do not Play against the Dealer or any other Player.

HOW TO PLAY

BETS
All bets must be placed prior to the Dealer announcing “No more bets.” Each Player places three (3) equal bets in the spaces indicated (1)(2) ($).

THE DEAL
Each Player and the Dealer receives three (3) cards face down.

THE PLAY
You are not playing against the Dealers or the other Players. You are simply trying to get the best possible poker hand by using your three cards and two community cards, which the Dealer will expose.

Each Player will be required to keep the three cards in full view of the dealer at all times.

The winners are paid according to the payout schedule (pair of 10’s or better, two pair, etc.)
After looking at his/her three (3) cards, each Player will be asked by the Dealer if he/she wishes to take back bet number 1 or “Let It Ride.”

The Dealer, after burning the community card to his/her left, turns up one community card. Each Player will be asked by the Dealer if he/she wishes to take back bet number 2 or “Let It Ride.” After each Player has made a decision regarding bet number 2, each Player’s cards will be placed face down on the designated area of the layout and they may not touch the cards again.

The Dealer then turns up the second community card and in a counterclockwise direction, turns the three cards of each Player face up. After all losing wagers have been collected, all winning hands are paid by the Dealer, according to the payout schedule.

Regardless of the decision made concerning the first or second bets, a Player may not take back the third bet.

(Players cannot show their hands to the other Players.)

TIPS
After looking at your three initial cards and the community cards are still hidden, let it ride when you have a pair of 10’s or better. Pull your bet if not. If you have four parts of a flush after the first common card is turned also let it ride. Do not chase after 4 card straights.

Poker is a game of chance. However, when you introduce the concept of betting, poker gains quite a bit of skill and psychology. Poker is played from a standard pack of 52 cards. (Some variant games use multiple packs or add a few cards called jokers.) The cards are ranked (from high to low) Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace. (Ace can be high or low, but is usually high). There are four suits (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs); however, no suit is higher than another.

Some games have Wild Cards, which can take on whatever suit and rank their possessor desires. Sometimes jokers will be used as wild cards, other times, the game will specify which cards are wild (deuces, one-eyed jacks, and so on).

Hands are ranked as follows (from high to low):

Five of a Kind – Only possible when using wild cards; it is the highest possible hand. If more than one hand has five of a kind, the higher card wins (Five Aces beats five kings, which beat five queens, and so on).

Straight Flush – The best possible natural hand. A straight flush has a straight (5 cards in order, such as 5-6-7-8-9) that are all of the same suit. As in a regular straight, you can have an ace either high (A-K-Q-J-T) or low (5-4-3-2-1). However, a straight may not ‘wraparound’. (Such as K-A-2-3-4, which is not a straight). An Ace high straight-flush is called a Royal Flush and is the highest natural hand.

Four of a Kind – This had contains four cards of the same rank. If there are two or more hands that qualify, the hand with the higher ranking four of a kind wins. If, in some bizarre game with many wild cards, there are two four of a kinds with the same rank, then the one with the high card outside the four of the kind wins.

Full House – This hand contains three of a kind and a pair, such as K-K-K-5-5. Ties are broken first by the three of a kind, then pair. So K-K-K-2-2 beats Q-Q-Q-A-A, which beats Q-Q-Q-J-J. (Obviously, the three of a kind can only be similar if wild cards are used.)

Flush – This is a hand where all of the cards are the same suit, such as J-8-5-3-2, all of spades. When flushes ties, follow the rules for High Card.

Straight – This is 5 cards in order, such as 4-5-6-7-8. An ace may either be high (A-K-Q-J-T) or low (5-4-3-2-1). However, a straight may not ‘wraparound’. (Such as Q-K-A-2-3, which is not a straight). When straights tie, the highest straight wins. (AKQJT beats KQJT9 down to 5432A). If two straights have the same value (AKQJT vs AKQJT) they split the pot.

Three of a Kind – Three cards of any rank, matched with two cards that are not a pair (otherwise it would be a Full House. Again, highest three of a kind wins. If both are the same rank, then the compare High Cards.

Two Pair – This contains two distinct pairs of cards and a 5th card. The highest pair wins ties. If both hands have the same high pair, the second pair wins. If both hands have the same pairs, the high card wins.

Pair – One pair with three distinct cards. High card breaks ties.

High Card – Any hand which does not qualify as any one of the above hands. If no player has a pair or better, then the highest card wins. If multiple players tie for the highest card, they look at the second highest, then the third highest etc. High card is also used to break ties when the high hands both have the same type of hand (pair, flush, straight, etc).

So, how do you bet?

Poker is, after all, a gambling game. In most games, you must ANTE something (amount varies by game, our games are typically a nickel), just to get dealt cards. After that the players will begin to bet into the pot in the middle. At the end of the hand, the highest hand (that hasn’t folded) wins the pot. Basically, when betting gets around to you (betting is typically done in clockwise order), you have one of three choices:

Call – When you call, you bet enough to match what has been bet since the last time you bet (for instance, if you bet a dime last time, and someone else bet a quarter, you would owe fifteen cents).

Raise – When you raise, you first bet enough to match what has been bet since the last time you bet (as in calling), then you ‘raise’ the bet another amount (up to you, but there is typically a limit.) Continuing the above example, if you had bet a dime, the other person raised you fifteen cents (up to a quarter), you might raise a quarter (up to fifty cents). Since you owed the pot 15 cents for calling and 25 for your raise, you would put 40 cents into the pot.

Fold – When you fold, you drop out of the current hand (losing any possibility of winning the pot), but you don’t have to put any money into the pot.

Most slot machines reward you for playing the maximum coins. For example the jackpot may pay 2000 coins with 2 coins played, but 4000 with 3 coins played. In most cases it is advisable to play the maximum coins.

Never leave or play a slot machines that owes you money. Sometimes a slot machines will run out of money before it is finished paying you off. If you get up someone else can sit at your slot machines and claim they hit your jackpot. If you put another coin you may lose the evidence so don’t touch anything until you are paid off.

Look for who is advertising loose slot machines and quoting specific payback percentages. These casinos are eager for your business and are willing to reward you with a looser slot machines for coming in.

Start off finding a slot machines that pays double for two coins played. Decide what your total bankroll will be before you start playing. Now start playing the slot machines. Play with one coin at a time until you win. When you win, play with two coins, one from your original bankroll, and one from the previous winnings. Continue playing with two coins until you lose, then revert back to using the single bankroll coin.

After you have played your entire bankroll, count your winnings. If you won more than your starting bankroll, put aside your winnings. Good work. However, if you wound up with less than your starting bankroll, this will be your new bankroll. Find another slot machines and try again.

If you do end up with no coins, quit for the day. This system does not guarantee you will be a winner. It will however help you stretch your playing time while risking less of your bankroll on one slot machines. If you only want to play slot machines for a little fun this might be the system for you.

The rules of slot machines consist of inserting coins into the slot and then pulling the lever to set the reels in motion.

The object is to line up specific patterns to win money. Depending on the slot machines chosen, you can bet up to three or four coins on each spin. To be eligible for the Progressive Jackpot, you must play the maximum number of coins per spin and be betting with $1 or $5 denominations. You may hit the “bet max” button to play for the maximum amount of coins and the reels will automatically begin to spin. If you prefer, you may deposit one coin at a time and then pull the lever to start the reels spinning. Each game has different payouts which are displayed on slot machines. Winning combinations are displayed in the center of the reels as marked by the pay line.

Most people when playing Roulette play the game the wrong way. For example, most people will start to play with a certain amount of money and keep playing until it is gone. This isn’t their intention, but that’s how it always seems to end up. Well, read on and I’ll show you how to best change this process.

Roulette is such a diverse game with so many possible betting combinations that if you are going to play it seriously you should be aware of what you should and shouldn’t do. After many years of study of the Roulette game I can show you with absolute certainty what constitutes a good bet and what doesn’t. It is my intention to give you a more in-depth knowledge of the game so that you can use this understanding to your advantage and hopefully make a profit in the long run.

The first thing I must stress at this point is that there is no great advantage. It is, however, possible to minimize the probability of losing, therefore maximizing your potential to win. There is no sure-fire way to always win, if there were Roulette would have died out many years ago, long before it was ever available online, but read on and lets see what we can do.

BETTING ON NUMBERS
One of the great advantages to playing Roulette online is you often have the choice of either an American or a European table. Always play on the European version with only one zero (the rest of this article assumes that you are). It lowers the house edge which can make all the difference.

Most people when playing Roulette will immediately start placing chips here, there and everywhere all over the table. They will put a couple of chips on some numbers, a larger amount of chips somewhere else, until they’re happy they have satisfied that little feeling inside them that is always intuitively telling them where to bet and by how much.

It’s a shame that in reality what they’re doing is placing the poorest value bets the table can offer. Even when they win, as they often do because the table is a wash with their chip colors, the winnings they receive are often less, or little more than the amount they have staked.

Now there is no doubt that this is an exciting and enjoyable way to play. If you enjoy it, and decide to carry on, then good luck to you. It is feasible that some times you can, and probably will win by playing this way. But do you keep a record of ALL your wins and losses? If you do then I would be very surprised if you win in the long run. So my advice is if you are intent on cutting the odds of you losing, then avoid this method of play.

If you study the above method scientifically you will find that most of the time you are betting against yourself. As an example, and to simplify things so that we can get a better vision of exactly what’s happening; let’s assume that we simply put $1 on each of the eighteen low numbers and $2 on each of the eighteen high numbers (ignoring zero for this example). Now if it lands on a high number we have won $18, but if it lands on a low number we lose $18 – bearing in mind that a win would pay 35-1.

This is exactly the same as putting an equal amount of money on high and low. The odds work out exactly the same, but we can clearly see from this example that we are wasting our time by putting a total of $36 on high and $18 on low because it would be exactly the same bet to put just $18 on high and leave low blank. You will be no better off except that if zero falls in and you lose both high and low then you now lose much less even though you have the same potential winnings. Of course when you’re spreading your bets all over the table you may decide to put a bet on zero, but the odds are the same it’s just that any other losing number or numbers become your bogey numbers. I have taken this example to a ridiculous extreme in the hope it will help you to see the mistake most people are making.

Transfer this diagnosis back to the way most people do play i.e. spreading a lot of money all over the table and you can see that they are nearly always betting unnecessary amounts (more than they need to in order to win the same amount) and steadily going to lose unless they are very lucky – but with such a method of playing they are minimizing their chances of being lucky. And there is always going to be the heavy loss when none of their chips come in – a totally unnecessary risk!

I say again, what we should be aiming at is maximizing the chance of allowing ourselves to be lucky. Try not to bet against yourself by staking more than is necessary to win the same amount anyway, and remember to take into account the amount of the total stake that is spent even when you win. If you start getting carried away and picking more and more numbers per bet, although you may have the fun of winning more often, you are going to be losing an increasing amount in the longer run most of the time.

Remember this rule; as you increase your stakes and spread the bet out, yes it may seem like you are winning more often, but when you do win your winnings are becoming less and less adequate compared to the expense of your stakes and the inevitable big losses.

Bearing all this in mind I would say one of the best value bets the Roulette table can offer is to pick 3 or 4 numbers (at 35-1) and just keep playing this same bet over and over. Or why not place these numbers on, say, the high number side of the table and stake the same total amount on low (at evens). Then if your chosen numbers refuse to drop in, at least the odds are slightly in your favor that you may be covering much of your losses because the ball is temporarily landing more on the opposite side of the table. Also, obviously, the opposite is also true; if the ball is not landing on low as much as high, you stand a chance that it could be temporally landing on your numbers more than the natural odds would predict.

If you give the above system a go you will need to be prepared to lose small amounts most of the time in order to gain occasional good wins. That’s how it will work, it is a good value bet, but it’s up to you to decide if you are prepared to take on the risk or not. I advise you try the system in an online Casino first but without real money to see how you get on. Keep a record of the results and see what happens over a reasonable period.

In a tremendously lengthy time it has been usual that many on-line casinos hasn’t been regulated in any way.

Which means online casino business appears to have been very similar to the old Insane West. Then it hasn’t been easy for casino gamblers to find a secured casino on-line with prepaid payment methods to gamble at. To avoid not fair on line casinos a wide range of casino review websites has started to show up on the internet scene. This makes it rather easy to decide a safe online casino.

Online gambling sites have a quite long history on the web and they have traditionally enjoyed the many benefits of being totally unregulated. This meant that Picking an online casino would once mean a selection among sites that were never responsible to anyone and might take your hard earned cash and run. How to locate a risk-free online casino with prepaid payment methods turned out to be a big problem for players and for that reason online websites started to appear that helped players to choose which online casino to select if they all have the prepaid payment methods.

It has really helped players make a far better knowledgeable choice among Online Casino webpages, as rogue operators become identified as a result on line casino website owners can blacklist them all. Looking at casino comparisons according to several elements such as of which internet site has the largest signup bonus, which contains the very best slots, prepaid payment methods, has the very best table limits, which includes the best holdem poker along with VIP package and so forth is certainly a lot more valuable as compared to seeing a biased advert for only one casino. Nonetheless you will discover issues here too.

Almost all guidelines as well as portals are in fact business partners with the online gambling internet websites they are writing about, which means that might be researching a lot of casinos and writing about them all, they’re going to have certain they would like you’re looking at over others, simply because they had been offered a better offer in order to recommend that you select a particular online gambling web-site. Some of the ranks, commonly out of ten or maybe five stars as an example, can be fabricated to mirror their own favourite personal preference therefore objectively are generally 100 % meaningless.

Pick Status – exactly what online casino has got the many gamblers? Gamers will be the true industry experts and will eventually normally wander away from poorer webpages and head for the preferred ones.

Select Bonuses – what online casinos in reality deliver the best bonuses with prepaid payment methods? You will find numerous bonus offer recommendations yet unfortunately with out showing the exact bonus conditions and terms they may be useless along with the massive deposit bonuses will be far too wonderful to be real. A bonus tutorial are advised to list first deposit bonuses just by fairness first, and size second.

Choose Protection – the particular operator really needs to be listed on the stock exchange to ensure the highest level of protection. Working with PayPal and prepaid payment methods to assist you to deposit in addition to take out your own profits includes an additional level of safety measures.

ANOTHER MISTAKE TO AVOID
If you have ever visited a Casino then no doubt you have seen people keeping notes of what numbers have come up in previous games. This is very common and encouraged by Casinos often with a free supply of pre-printed cards and pens to help you with the process. In online casinos a large list of all the previous numbers are usually there for you to see the sequence they came out.

The theory is that because there is an equal chance of each number dropping in, and because the law of chance dictates that numbers will always average out in the long run, then surely if a number has not dropped in for a high number of spins it must be due any time now. So you keep betting on that number because it must – by the law of averages – be a winner very soon.

The only trouble is that there is no truth in this theory what-so-ever!My advice is completely forget this idea because it has no bearing on reality. I don’t care if a number has not dropped in for 10,000 spins, this does not mean that it has any more chance, or is any more likely to be the next winner than any other number for the forthcoming game or games.

Of course the odds of that number not being a winner for 10,000 spins are astronomical, true, but it is the odds at the beginning of the 10,000 spins when it is unlikely, not after the event. Once it has happened there is exactly a 36-1 against chance of it landing in that number for the next spin.

What has happened in the past has no influence on what will happen in the future. Remember this fact the next time you see someone betting on a certain number, or a color etc., because that particular bet has not won for a while. It may or may not win, if it feels like a good idea and you’re prepared to take the risk then go for it by all means. But whether it wins or loses is down to luck and not down to the fact that it was due to win.

PLAYING WISE – PROFIT AND LOSS RATIO
As a rule of thumb, expect to lose the value of your average stake per bet over 37 games. For example, if you are placing five dollars on the table each spin, then after 37 spins, if the odds are running exact, you will be five dollars in loss. Of course, it is unlikely that the odds will be exact, but it gives you a rough idea of what the odds are against you. Put simply, for every $37 you bet, if it runs exactly to the odds, you will end up with $36. This is why the Casino always has a slight advantage. The more you are betting the more you must expect to lose over a certain period. So what do we do?

If you want to win money you’ll have to drag yourself off the table when you’re in a reasonable amount of profit.This is the hardest time to walk away because you’re feeling great, you’re winning money and you want to win more – it doesn’t works like that. Although you could win more, there is always that slightly more chance (as described above) that you will lose. Then you will be chasing your previous winnings again, but wishing you had quit while you were ahead.

In reality what will happen is that the money you begin with will rise and fall slightly, with the pull being a little more in the favor of a fall. Of course it can shoot one way or the other quickly and without warning but this is the nature of the beast. Most of the time however you should find a slow and steady sway between profit and loss.

Set a pre-determined win or loss cut-off point, and finish that session when you reach it. Place a bet that is, say, 5% of the total amount you are prepared to lose on red or black. Whether you win or lose keep placing the same bet until you either win half what you started with, or lose the whole lot. I like playing on the colors/high-low/odds-evens because it cuts the banks slight advantage further due to you only losing half your stake when zero drops in.

Here’s a good system: Notice that the table is split into three length-way rows (i.e. 1-34, 2-35, and 3-36).The row with the numbers 3-36 has eight red numbers and only four black numbers. We can use this fact to our advantage. Place one chip on red and two chips on row 1-36 and two chips on row 2-35.

Now, most of the time you will win but if the ball sways in favor of the row 3-36 the odds are in our favor it will keep landing on red so our losses are less than they would have been. However because it will more than likely sway in favor of one of the three rows over a given period, we don’t have to be too lucky to have picked the right one as we have covered two out of three (also, hopefully, it will keep landing in red too).

Because you should win small amounts most of the time (with bigger losses less often), you may like to try raising your stake slightly on a loss. Simply raise your bet on a loss and lower your bet on a win. This helps to cancel out losses and partly safeguards wins. (NEVER keep doubling up even if you can afford it as this is definitely a recipe for losing a fortune sooner or later.) Stick with this system until you either lose your pre-determined amount (e.g. say twenty dollars if you are prepared to lose this much), or win half of it (e.g. ten dollars).

Base your strategy on a longer term plan.I hope you won’t start off in an unlucky fashion but if you do, please don’t dismiss the above strategies because there really is no better way of winning more than you lose. But remember you are still GAMBLING and as such you are always putting yourself in a situation where you could lose your money in the hope of winning some.

Many online Casinos offer introductory bonuses to get you to start an online account. A typical introductory offer is to double your initial deposit (even if it’s not advertised on their website many will offer you a big bonus shortly after downloading their software, just wait a few days without making a deposit).

A last word of caution: There are many online Casinos operating these days but not all of them are honest.Stick with known reputable organizations, I recommend Windows Casino. Why? Because they hold a Platinum Certificate from SafeBet, the standard in internet Casino testing, and have been approved by the Electronic Gaming Commission. They have a safe and fair gaming environment and were chosen the Online Casino Of The Year last year and are the recipients of five Online Gaming Awards in 2002, including Best Online Casino.

Until quite recently I would never have considered myself to be an online gamer. In fact, I am pretty sure that apart from playing the arcade game ‘Pac Man’ back in the 1980’s, I had never actually played any other online game at all. What’s more, I used to consider the millions of people who played these games a little pathetic, and lacking worthwhile pastimes. How wrong I was.

I recently came across one of the large online skill gaming companies whilst browsing the web and thought I would find out what all the fuss was about. I decided to have a go at one of their free online pool games. No way was I going to part with any money knowing the level of whiz kid competition online today. I played a few games and I have to say, I loved it! I was officially hooked and had in the space of just a few minutes become one of those online gaming geeks I had ridiculed for years; what a hypocrite I had quickly become.

During my four years at university I had spent many a night in the pub playing pool and I became very good at it. What I noticed about the online version is that it had been designed so well that the cue power, top spin and back spin etc were almost as accurate as the real life version. I therefore found that I quickly became just as good as I had at the real life game.

Playing these free online pool games against the computer was no longer enough for my greedy soul; it was time to play for cash. There was a free online multiplayer games option where I could challenge others online for no fee but I felt that I had achieved the necessary skill level to forge ahead to the real money stage.

I uploaded some funds from my credit card and started playing again. Although I was now only putting up a £1 or £2 entry fee per game, the sudden increase in excitement over simply playing for free was palpable. Also the system was now automatically linking me up with other players from around the world who were willing to play for the same entry fee as me. I could really feel the competitiveness build as each game was played and knowing that a real person was actually playing me ‘live’ created a real buzz.

I initially played about twenty games and found that my online games bank had increased by 20%. Although this was skill just a paltry sum it really didn’t matter because I certainly was not doing this as an income generator. It was simply the fact that I was up on my initial investment and was having a fantastic time.

I then noticed that there were online pool tournaments available. Now, a whole new dynamic was created because sizable cash sums could be won. I decided to enter a 24 hour tournament for a cash prize of £500. I paid my £5 entry fee and was then permitted to play and post as many scores as I wished within this 24 hour period. The prize would then be issued to the person who registered the highest individual game score within this period. Unfortunately, I did not win and realised that I was not quite as good as I had initially thought. The top ten registered scores were far in excess of anything I could possibly have dreamed of but I really didn’t care because I never would have believed that online pool could be this entertaining.

Whether you are a real life pool player or not, come and immerse yourself in some free online pool games and you will quickly see just how addictive and highly entertaining this form of online fun can be.
